Contrasting to the noisy Hennessy Road, ACO at 14/F of Foo Tak Building is quiet and simple. One can enjoy the aroma of books, refreshments and coffee here. You would immerse into the nuances of art and culture here unconsciously.
Other than operating an independent bookstore and running food exhibitions as daily routine, ACO Base is also an open space for presentations by ACO or other art and culture entities. Here we can hold exhibitions, screenings, forums, gatherings, press conferences, mini concerts, lectures etc. The physical space could be confined but the possibility here is unlimited and everyone is welcome to check with us about the hiring of our various space and facilities.
